Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the likely incoming chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, announced on Dec. 4 a “broad probe into President [Joe] Biden’s energy crisis that is harming the pocketbooks of Americans,” with particular emphasis on the president’s “secret deal” with Saudi Arabia.

“Since Day One in office, President Biden has waged war on American-made energy and driven up costs for Americans. President Biden has unilaterally shut down the Keystone XL pipeline, implemented a moratorium on oil and gas production on federal lands, drained critical oil reserves, and pushed policies that directly resulted in skyrocketing energy prices,” Comer, who is currently the ranking Republican member of the oversight panel, said in a statement.
